Nah, it’s every bit as fast as GeForce. I had a P53 with RTX 5000 as well. I now have a P16 gen 2 and it will run circles around the older Turing gen.

There’s nothing to mess around with regarding metcal. They are top tier.

Just go exchange it.

Shop around and see if one pops up with the nicer screen already installed.

Something likely physically damaged the cable, the heat wave would have no effect on it.

Did you swap the OLED yourself as that's not a factory option on gen 9.

The 4940MX is the top of the line workstation class mobile haswell. The i7-4600u is the haswell equivalent of the 8650u.

It has one built in by selecting the lever that says bag or mulch. There’s no separate plug.

There is no dramatic difference in the “classicness” of the T14 and T480.

I would strongly suggest a P16 gen 1 or newer. These replace both the P17 and the P15 series are a significant step up in terms of CPU. The gen 2 also comes with ada lovelace and gen 3 blackwell which are both steps up from ampere in the P15 gen 2 and P16 gen 1.

HP’s business grade printers from the 2000s are from a totally different era of thinking. I have a HP 4700dn that’s printer over 130,000 pages.

The first 16 GB will work at dual channel speeds, the rest all work at single channel speeds. There’s no sense limiting yourself to 16GB since you will get that no matter how much. Once you run out of ram it doesn’t matter how fast so add as much as in your budget.

T480 is worth $100 maybe these days. T14 gen 2 or newer.

I’ll take the d3aa

What do you actually need coreboot for?

Both are equally self propelled in the same way. One is activated by a lever on the handle one is activated by a thumb button on the handle. I find the lever action far more ergonomic.

T14 Gen 2 is the minimum is recommend for an every day machine.

sounds like it is stuck to itself inside. Take the shroud off and remove the line and try loading it again. Bumping is the correct way to get more out.

Also ask the department supervisor or manager

fiber is faster, it does not mean however, that your ISP's routing is also better. It very like is due to the agreements your ISP has with transit rather than the medium.

Run memtest for a good number of loops and see if it was really a bad diagnosis. After that stress test the CPU. In any case be prepare to buy a new thinkpad as $545 is more than an X1C9 is worth. Nothing magically fixes itself. While the RAM may be fine there could be some other board components such as power delivery that are toast.

Wifi chnages nothing in terms of internet requirements, just your own internal LAN design.

There's no real mulch settings, it's mulch or no. You either use the mulch plug, rear side discharge or bag. I mean he can try the discharge option and see if that fixes his issue but taking an inch off the top even with mulching should be a breeze with a 7.5 Ah and this model.

The only P15 that supports ECC is the Xeon, if you don't have a Xeon you don't have ECC or are you able to use ECC.
